Chapter 290
Catherine's POV
"I'll call Patricia now to check on Noah and Hedwig." Blake was in a pickle, too.
"Maybe you can tell them I'm on an urgent business trip. I'll go back and see them when I'm better," I put forward an idea.
"Are we really going to lie to them?" Blake frowned. He seemed reluctant. "We keep telling them not to lie, but we can't set a good example."
He looked serious. I couldn't help but laugh. My wound was torn by my sudden move, and I groaned with pain.
Blake quickly came over and blamed, "You know you are injured, right? Why can't you learn to take care of yourself?"
I looked up at his worried look, and I gently said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"How can I not be worried? Do you know how much it hurts to see you like this? I'd rather it was me lying there." Blake would rather be injured than watch me like this.
"Don't say that," I said angrily. "I don't want you to get hurt."
Blake leaned over and kissed me on the lips. Then he said, "I'll go outside and call Patricia. Try not to move too much."
"OK." I looked at him and nodded.
This terrible accident made me realize that the world could be a very dangerous place.
Who would do this to me? Did I cross someone?
Was it Gina? Or Lucy, the colleague I quarreled with last time?
It seemed that many people had a certain motive to hurt me, but what bothered me most was that I had no proof of who wanted to hurt me.
I had decided not to think about it until Blake got to the bottom of it.
I closed my eyes to rest. Soon, I heard Blake's footsteps. Then, I opened my eyes and looked at him.
"What did Patricia say?" I was nervous about Patricia's reaction to my situation.
"She asked me to take care of you. She also said that she wouldn't stand in our way from now on," Blake smiled. He sat next to my bed and reached for my hand. He put my hand next to his lips and kissed it. "Patricia finally allowed us to be together!"
"Do you believe me if I tell you that I knew it long before?" I was instantly in a better mood.
"How can you be so sure?" Blake chuckled.
"I don't know why. It's just a feeling. Patricia was nice to me before. She is a kind, generous woman. She loves you very much, and also Noah and Hedwig. I'm sure she doesn't want to see us apart," I said softly, grinning.
"You're right. Indeed, women often have sharp instincts." Blake agreed.
I blushed over Blake's words.
"By the way, Leo just came." For some reason, Blake kept staring into my eyes, as if he wanted to see my first reaction to it.
I looked away at once. I whispered, "Yeah? How did he know that I was in a car accident? Did you tell him?"
"It wasn't me. He said that he heard it from someone in his company," Blake replied.
"Maybe it was because I was on my way to his office, so people at his office knew about it." I didn't know what else to say.
"I think Leo cares about you a lot." Blake seemed to notice something.
"Why shouldn't he? I am your mate," I immediately replied.
Blake nodded. "That's true. You are my mate. And we will get married."
"Yes. I will be your wife." I said, looking at him seriously.
I reached out and stroked my head. "I am a little tired. I'll rest for a while."
"Sure. Let me help," Blake gently picked me up so that I could lie down comfortably.
My wound was on the left side of my head, so I had to sleep on my right side.
When I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but tremble.
Was Leo here before?
Why did he come over? He shouldn't have come here.
What should I do? Did Blake know?
"I'll go outside for a smoke. I'll be back soon." Blake lowered his head and kissed my cheek. Then he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
After he left, I opened my eyes and gawked at the door.
I was doomed.
"Calm down, Cathy. You need to rest," Eva consoled me.
The door was tightly shut, and my heart was racing. I trembled uncontrollably.
I felt a little dizzy. I tried not to think about these things, but my attempts failed. At some point, I fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already late at night.
Blake was leaning over my bed, grabbing my hand tightly, as if he was afraid of losing me.
With him by my side, I felt that my wound was healing. His tired face made my heart ache. As I stroked his cheek, I felt my affection for him was stronger. I loved him more with every passing day.
"Eva, I never want to be apart from Blake again," I said quietly.
"The guidance of the Moon Goddess is the best choice," Eva said.
Blake woke up.
"You're awake," Blake said gently. "Do you know how badly you were injured this time? I thought I was going to lose you."
"Don't worry, Blake. With you by my side, I feel that I'm getting better faster. I'll be discharged from the hospital soon," I said softly.
"Yes. Dr. Cooper says that werewolves recover quicker with their mates around. You'll heal faster." He leaned over, pressing his face against mine.
He took my hand and placed it on his lips. I could feel he was restraining himself.
Suddenly, Blake's phone rang. He went out to answer the phone, and soon he came back.
I was surprised when he told me about Gina calling the police.
"All the packs have been ordered to investigate your accident. I've got something that ties this to Gina. I didn't realize that she would call the police," Blake said angrily.
I was in a bad mood after listening to the whole thing. Gina was bold and tried to kill me!
"Don't worry. She will never have a chance to hurt you again." Blake gently stroked my cheek.
"I'm not worried, Blake. The safest place for me is to be next to you." I looked at him tenderly.
I almost died in the accident. Right now, nothing could stop me from loving Blake. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
I thanked the Moon Goddess for bringing Blake and me together.
I raised my head slightly and kissed his cheek.
"Blake, take care of yourself, too. I don't want you to get sick," I told him.
"Relax. I will. And I will also take care of you, Noah, and Hedwig." Blake stared at me. I could see my reflection in his eyes.
"Wait a second. I'll be back soon," Blake said.
"It's alright. Go ahead and do whatever you've got to do." I knew that he was going to deal with Gina. I wanted to know the truth, too.
Soon, Blake returned with Gina's testimony.
Blake's face darkened after he read it.
It turned out that it was Gina's pursuer. He knew that Gina and I weren't getting along. He schemed the car accident just to impress Gina.
The truth was hard for me to accept. I suffered so much and almost died just because someone wanted to woo Gina?
